This is breaking and the timing of this is most curious. I will move this over to the suspicious deaths blog at some point in time.
As this is being reported right now- Suicide.
Expect this to change. Expect fingers to be pointed at Putin.
But, I don't think so.
Is this connected to the opening of the Litvinenko investigation?
Which will undoubtedly point fingers at Putin.
BUT .....
Yes, I am suggesting that Berzovsky knew someone was going to kill him.
You don't really think he killed himself do you?

Mr. Berezovsky’s death was first reported in a post on Facebook by his son-in-law Egor Schuppe, and confirmed by Alexander Dobrovinsky, a lawyer who had represented him.Mr. Dobrovinsky, who runs a law firm with offices in Moscow and London, wrote in Russian on his own Facebook page:“Just got a call from London. Boris Berezovsky has committed suicide. The man was complex. An act of desperation? Impossible to live poor? A series of blows? I am afraid that no one will know the truth.”

BUT .....
Since Berezovsky was with Litvinenko the day he was poisoned, was Berezovsky's death a necessity in order to make the case against Putin?
Mr. Berezovsky helped Mr. Litvinenko flee Russia in 2000 before he, too, left the country to seek asylum in London.
Only recently Mr Berzovsky had written to Mr Putin...On the day he was poisoned, Nov. 1, 2006, Mr. Litvinenko went from a meeting with several Russians at a four-star hotel in central London to Mr. Berezovsky’s nearby office. There he met with a Chechen exile, Akhmed Zakayev, another Berezovsky protégé, and the two drove together to adjacent homes financed by Mr. Berezovsky, in North London.
A spokesman for Mr. Putin said that Mr. Berezovsky had recently sent a letter asking President Putin for forgiveness and permission to return to RussiaMakes me wonder if Berzovsky knew his days in London were over and that perhaps he was looking for some security. Some safety. In Russia.
“Some time ago, maybe a couple of months, Berezovsky sent Vladimir Putin a letter, written by himself, in which he admitted that he had made a lot of mistakes,” the spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, said on the Russia 24 television channel. “He asked Putin for forgiveness for the errors to be able to return home.”
Yes, I am suggesting that Berzovsky knew someone was going to kill him.
